Some possible talking points:

1) Sean is not a gang member. He has been sent to higher security to silence his criticism of Jpay policy.

2) Sean is a model prisoner who has signed up for all relevant programs.

3) Shawn Marshall 461-448, another prisoner who has admitted to involvement in the rule violations Sean denies involvement in, has already had his status lowered and is currently at 4A status.

4) Keeping Sean at 4B prevents him from getting to the security level he needs to be paroled in 2016. This means even after his counsel files the upcoming civil action to challenge this disciplinary discrepancy, Sean will suffer the consequences at the parole board, which will necessitate further litigation.

The more people who write the better. You can also call OSP @ (330)743-0700 ask to speak to D-Block Unit Manager and relate this information. Please be polite. For now, if denied, Sean’s next review will be in July 2014.
If you find out the review has already happened, ask the outcome and if it was not a recommendation in to lower Sean’s status, try to persuade prison officials to change their minds.
